"At the same time, Donald Tusk expressed his full support for Ukraine and said that the agreement should continue to operate," reads the statement.

President of the European Council also stressed that Ukraine has fulfilled all the necessary criteria for liberation of the visa-free regime. According to him, the EU now has to complete some internal procedures to give the Ukrainians the right to enter the European Union without visas.

The two sides agreed to continue intensive coordination at the highest level.
